WI Vs IRE Dream11 Bowling Order
We begin this facet of our Dream 11 side with the selection of Joshua Little from Ireland. His spell of 3-29 was a defining moment in the side’s defence of their score, seeing him not only send down a restrictive spell but one in which he kept picking up wickets at regular intervals as well for the unit.
He’s paired up with Craig Young who got two wickets as well while from West Indies we are going in with a lethal partnership as well. Sheldon Cottrell and Khary Pierre picked up the four wickets in between them, the two apiece for either bowler, wickets which ensured that Ireland’s effort with the bat was refrained at the apt moment to keep West Indies in the tie.
